Flanker Lam, 29, has scored 18 tries in his 46 Bristol appearances, has again shown his commitment to Bristol, having initially turned down interest from a host of top clubs – thought to have included Toulouse – to re-sign in December 2015.

He said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bristol Rugby so far, and there is plenty to look forward to in the future.

“I’ve made the decision to stay here because there is unfinished business and I want to help establish us in the top flight – that’s what I was brought here to do.

“Throughout the highs and the lows, the spirit within the club has always been strong and the supporters have continued to stick with us.”
